Most historians agree that the medieval symbol was not intended as depicting a trident, but rather, was a symbol of the Holy Trinity;[4] it also was most likely a stylized falcon. Depictions of a flying falcon with a Christian cross above its head have been found in Old Ladoga, the first seat of the Kievan Rurik dynasty,[5] of Scandinavian lineage.[6] Such a falcon, along with a cross are also featured on the coins of Olaf Guthfrithsson, a Viking king of Dublin and Northumbria.[5] Falconry for centuries has been a royal sport in Europe. The gyrfalcon (known also as Norwegian falcon) was considered a royal bird and is mentioned (ukr.: ัะฐัะพะณ) in one of the earliest epics of Ruthenia, the 12th century poem The Tale of Ihor's Campaign.
Later images of the trident ("tryzub") among the Rurikids resemble more a bident or the letter "ะฃ", which also in the modern Cyrillic alphabet denotes the sound "u" as in "Ukraine" (though the Cyrillic alphabet at the time did not have such a letter, using the digraph Oัด/ัธ or its monogram ๊ instead).
